OK folks,
Here's your chance to post up a pic of your boat for all the world to see. Doesn't matter if its a cruiser or a canoe, we'd love to see it.
Just use the new "attach" feature below the text box to post up your pic.
And don't forget to give us a few details about her either.

Mine is called "Tarcoola" (aboriginal for river bend)
She is a custom built 4.9m Sea Jay Barra Masta (built to survey). Centre console with front & rear casting decks, rod locker, twin live-wells, under floor ice box, CD player, 65 lb Minn Kota bow mount, Zercom sounder, Lorenz GPS & plotter. Currently has a 70 HP 4 stroke Evinrude but will be changing over to an 80 HP 4 stroke Yamaha soon.

Cheers,

Fitzy..

Nice one Webby, must hoot along pretty well eh?
Was beginning to think no one else out there ('cept Randall) had a boat.
Might post up a pic of my other boat now.

Here is a picture of the mighty "Blacksmith". She is only 15 foot but it has been across Sandy Cape at Fraser Island and out to Fitzroy Reef on the Great Barrier Reef. Billfish tally stands at 10. Powered by a 1999 Yamaha 70 with Canon Downrigger, Synderglass Outriggers on Wilson Bases, Uniden VHF & 27 Meg Radios, AM/FM Stereo, JRC-46 Sounder and Eagle Explorer GPS. Boat is a 1986 model.

Am sure most have already seen her on the site, and most have overtaken her on a weekend. This is our Roberts Longboat, 21ft, 25HP 2 pot Yamaha diesel. Cruises at 6 knots, downhill, with the tide and wind at her back. A very comfortable cruiser with good overnight facilities. A steal @ $27,000.00.

I`m blown away by that more recent photo you big barstard!!!

I`m at a loss as to why they called you a bouncer in your former life? There`s no way you`d bounce!! ;-)

I guess that last comment constitutes being thrown into the Bribie Passage again? Lookin forward to it!!

Regards, Randall. (The gettin wet again fella)

Would`nt mind catching up for a blues session though.
Get your harp out !!!

Hornet 455. The lean seat at the front is my making other than that it's pretty much standard. Got a twin battery system - one for starting and a 109amph deep cycle for the electric.

;) Not the best of pix, but she's an ordinary craft. We take it everywhere, anyhow. This is when we packed up to leave awoonga at the end of last year. 4.5m alf stessl circa 1990, deep sides, pretty beamy, chuggs along with a 84 mod suzi 40 horsies. Hey, what can I say, we didn't buy it. Was the father in law's mackeral chasing unit. (He's fishing with the man upstairs now!)

Hi Jack,
Actually taken out the front of my house at Golden Beach. Couldn't be happier with the hornet. About to make a rod locker for it so I don't keep droping things on the damn things. Cheaper to make a locker than replace rods.

This is our pride and joy, doesnt look real good at the moment, undergoing a fitout and repair. It has history around the Gladstone area original owner bought it about 25 years ago I believe. Clarke Abalone centre console with 70hp Evinrude. When it is complete will be sporting new console with screen and splash protection (she is very wet in choppy conditions), all fuel tanks under floor, storage compartments along 1/2 the sides, GPS,Fishfinder, new VHF radio, marine music machine and Maroon and Silver paint job (Q'lander Q'lander Q'lander) Son who is co-owner is currently in the UK so look forward to heaps of trips when he returns later this year, maybe bearing gifts to include from USA
